Fannie Sperry Steele was a champion bronc rider and relay racer. This episode tells the story of her childhood and how she got into professional bronc and relay riding in wild west shows, and her life as a married woman.
In this podcast, I talk about the Art of the Cowgirl, as that is where I first learned about Fannie Sperry Steele. This article has a picture of the trailer that I describe in the episode.
